I can’t wait to discuss this book with my seniors- I love the variety of points of view involved in this book, but it became overwhelming at times to keep track. I love the stream of consciousness writing as well as the secrets along the odyssey. I haven’t read it since I was in high school, so it was great to pick up again and analyze in an AP perspective. The symbolism, archetypes, and raw depth of characterization are beautifully created.

It’s crazy that I just read Blood Meridian which has one of the most evil characters ever in it, yet Anse Bundren probably just bested him. What a truly despicable character who got under my skin.
“He had a word, too. Love, he called it. But I had been used to words for a long time. I knew that that word was like the others: just a shape to fill a lack.”
Having read one other Faulkner novel before (which I didn't like) I was kind of dreading reading this. It was better than I'd expected given how little I took to his other work, but still not the sort of thing I'd seek to read more of. There were flashes of genius where for a moment I'd understand why the book has the reputation it does, but more often than not I found myself impatiently looking forward to the end of it.
